IDE and ATA Terminology

The following terms may be helpful as you read this
manual.
• IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) – A standard
electronic interface between a PCI-based system's
memory and disk storage devices. EIDE, an en-
hanced version of IDE, is commonly used in PCI
computers.
• ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) –
The "official" name used by the ANSI (American
National Standards Institute) to describe IDE
technology.
• Ultra ATA/66 – Ultra ATA/66 is the latest drive
data transfer protocol used in today's disk storage
devices. It incorporates ATA/IDE technology with
data transfer rates up to 66MB/sec, effectively dou-
bling the burst data rate of the previous transfer pro-
tocol, Ultra ATA/33. Ultra ATA/66 provides greater
system throughput and data transfer integrity.
Support Note:
the physical, electrical, transport and com-
mand protocols for the attachment of internal
storage devices.
There have been many revisions to the ATA stan-
dards over the years as new technologies have
been developed and implemented. The latest pro-
tocol, ATA/ATAPI-5, supports data transfers of up
to 66MB/sec with enhanced data integrity and
reliability through internal data checking and cor-
rection algorithms. The Tempo Ultra ATA66 PCI
host adapter is an ATA/ATAPI-5 product.
